//------------------------------// // Pinkie Catches a Pokemon // Story: Pinkie Pie Nuzlockes Through Kanto! // by DarkAura //------------------------------// Pinkie, with her two front hoofs a space away from the tall grass, breathed in deeply. This was it. Her new journey was actually starting. All she needed to do was walk forward. "REEEEEED!" came a high pitched scream. It took a second for Pinkie to register that others called her by Red, not Pinkie. When she turned around, she saw the fuming face of Gilda. "Hiya Gilda!" Pinkie greeted, not mad at all that Gilda ruined a perfectly awesome moment. "You..." he seethed. At his side was a frightened Bulbasaur, hiding behind Gilda's legs. "Because of you, I was forced to get a retarded Pokemon and retarded name!" Pinkie frowned slightly. "Huh? What're you talking about? You never got this mad when I named you Discord, or Trixie, or Rainbow! You just acted like it was your real name! Why're you so mad; You're not even real, silly filly!" Gilda didn't say anything for a few seconds. With a shake of his head, he turned to glare at Pinkie. "You... UGH! Let's see who's the greatest trainer! Just 'cause Granddad let you pick first and name me DOESN'T MAKE YOU BETTER!" Pinkie just shrugged. "Okie lokie dokey! Gummy! Let's battle!" "Sure, whatever," replied an apathetic Gummy. Gilda nodded at his Bulbasaur, which hesitantly walked towards Gummy. "Gummy! Use Withdraw!" Pinkie commanded. Gummy hid inside his shell for a few seconds, then came out. His defense rose! "Bulbasaur, Tackle!" "Gummy, Tackle!" "Tackle!" "Tackle!" "Tackle!" "Withdraw!" "Tackle!" "Tackle!" Gummy's Tackle was a critical hit, which made the Bulbasaur faint! Before Gilda could be even do anything, Pinkie spoke up. "Wow! What a super duper battle! But Gilda... could you please not be so grumpy and mean? I don't like seeing you like that. So I want you to Pinkie Promise it! Pleeeeeeease?!" Gilda hesitantly put his pinky up, and Pinkie merely rolled her eyes. "Not that kind of Pinkie Promise!" She replicated what a Pinkie Promise was; With one hoof making a cross to her chest, then sticking her hoof in her eye, all while chanting 'Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye'. Gilda did what Pinkie said. "And remember! If you break a Pinkie Promise, all your bones will be rearranged painfully! All of 'em!" She said in an oddly enthusiastic way. Gilda, after a few seconds, just walked off. /Now/ Pinkie was free to enter Route 1! Apparently, she had enough dramatic entries for the day, so she trotted through the grass freely. After five steps, a Pidgey appeared before her! "Oooooh, a Pidgey! Sooo cool! But I can't catch it..." she said. "But didn't Oak give you five Pokeballs?" asked Gummy. "Huh... I guess he did! But that's really really weird, since I get Pokeballs after I bring the parcel and talk to Old Man Coffee!" "... What?" "Teehee, just forget it! Gimme a Pokeball, and use Tackle on the Pidgey!" Gummy did as instructed, and Pinkie threw the Pokeball at the Pidgey, and caught it. "Yes! My first caught Pokemon in this game! He'll be named Angel!" After a few seconds of trying to open her new Pidgey's Pokeball with her hooves, Gummy snatched it from her and sent Angel out. "Hi," Angel said. He took one look at Pinkie and sighed. "Great. Now they're letting ponies be trainers?" "Huh? Why can't ponies be trainers? I've been a trainer twenty times in a row, and a champ for nineteen of those!" "Excuse me? You're just a newbie. There's never been a pony that was champion, let alone a trainer." Even after all the weirdness that was going on today, she was /finally/ confused.
